Check out our new paper in @newphyt.bsky.social led by Nestor Bosch Global patterns in seagrass trait composition are strongly linked to phylogenetic dissimilarity, showing the importance of evolutionary history in shaping contemporary seagrass biogeography doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Check out our new paper, led by Liam MacNeil, showing trait convergence under similar environmental conditions in demersal fish assemblages across the Northern Hemisphere dx.doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Check out our new paper in GEC showing how ecological traits can be used to rank conservation priorities for fish species within the same IUCN categories. Priorities for threatened species can change importantly based on conservation goals. doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

Large #teeth & highly protrusible #jaws are 2 feeding innovations that have evolved in #fish. But @cichlidnick.bsky.social &co suggest that they're incompatible with each other; large teeth unlock new feeding modes, but constrain how prey can be captured @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3HVH7go

Counting fish isn't hard in temperate ecosystems...right?

Conserving the beauty of the world’s reef fish assemblages 💙 Check out our last paper @pnas.org We mapped what makes reef fish assemblages beautiful worldwide! 🌍 MPAs boost aesthetic, and developing countries have a chance to align conservation with local benefits doi.org/10.1073/pnas... 🌐🧪🦑🦤

🚨NEW IN @pnas.org🚨 We evaluated the distribution and drivers of aesthetic value in reef fish assemblages worldwide! MPAs enhance aesthetic value and tropical developing countries have the greatest potential conservation benefits! doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @reeflifesurvey.bsky.social

First post on BS! Celebrating a paper accepted with a fabulous beer!
